The provisions set forward in this Act shall not apply in cases of:

A. Suspected counterfeit currency. A Covered Business may refuse to accept Cash that the business reasonably suspects to be counterfeit.

B. Large denominations. A Covered Business may refuse to accept Cash in any denomination larger than a twenty dollar note, but shall otherwise accept any combination of Federal Reserve Notes and metal coins in connection with any transaction.

C. Single transactions above $500. Where a single transaction involves the purchase of one or more goods and/or services, the total price of which (including tax) exceeds $500, a Covered Business must accept Cash that is offered as payment for any amount up to and including $500, but may refuse to accept Cash that is offered as payment for the remainder of the amount due.

D. Reservations made without cash. Where a Covered Business requires the purchaser make an appointment or reservation using a noncash form of payment (such as a credit or debit card), the business may require that the transaction in question be paid for using the noncash payment already on file.
